A Quick Check on the Virtual Tour

Several weeks back I did a post about the short virtual tour set up by the European Tour while players were locked down... but I realized this week I hadn't really said much more about it. So let's get caught up on the virtual action.



Quick review: The ET set up a five-event virtual mini-tour to be played on five well-known courses:

• May 9: St. Andrews (Old Course)
• May 16: Royal Portrush
• May 23: Golfclub München Eichenried
• May 30: Real Club Valderrama
• June 6: Wentworth

And while I thought at first there were only five players involved, there turned out to be more. First week had 18, then 28, 29 and 39 this past weekend.

Anyway, four of the five events have been played and the winners are:

• Joost Luiten at St. Andrews
• Connor Syme at Royal Portrush
• Wil Besseling at Golfclub München Eichenried
• Rafa Cabrera-Bello at Real Club Valderrama

The final event is to be played next weekend. You can check the scores here.

Although I did remember to mention Connor's win in the KLPGA Championship Limerick Summary I did that week, I have tended to forget about them. I blame that on the fact that I'm in the USA and the virtual events are already played by the time I think to check them. But I wanted to remind everyone about the final event next weekend.

In case your memories are better than mine.
